“BLACK GIRLS ROCK I am a black girl that rocks. I rock because I’ve made little girls, teenagers, and grown girls feel beautiful and want to feel fabulous inside and out. I rock because I love music and I feel it all the time. I rock because there is joy in every breath. I rock because I have a daughter that looks like me. I rock because sometimes I’m scared. I rock because I’m not afraid to cry. I rock because I am loved and know how to love. I rock because I love God. I ROCK, I ROCK, WE ROCK!” ~ Laura Garner

Dearly beloved we are gathered here to get through this thing called life ~ Prince
